How a job description should be?

'How a job description should be?' is a very important criteria in your recruitment process. In Simple words, You need a Right Job Description if you need right candidate in right Time. here I have listed out some important points on how a JD should and should not be,
  1. It Should not be big in size: Generally, JDs big in size will invite more junk / unsuitable profile since the most of the candidates will apply without going through the JDs in full or they will apply just seeing the Title alone.  
  2. It should give all the essentials very clearly and shortly if possible in bullet points. 
  3. Key sills in any tools or software should be highlighted.
  4. Specific constraints like Years of experience, Salary range, education and any additional qualification should be highlighted separately. Giving such a details will save you lot of time by avoiding the profiles out of the range.
  5. Years of experience should be given in a range. Sometimes a narrow range of experience will reduce the candidate response very much. so should be cautious in choosing the range.
  6. Essentials and added advantages should be clearly defined. 
  7. Provide Contact phone no of recruiter only for top management openings if required. Particularly in mass recruiting it will cause unnecessary hindrance or waste of time.
So my point here is, Just sending a little more time in preparing your JD, Save a lot of time in hitting the right Candidates. Wish you A Happy Hiring from Armaven Consultancy P Limited.
